The Prismatic Debussy<\/em> opens with a concert surveying music for large ensembles: two pieces scored by Debussy himself; one orchestrated by Debussy with Andr\u00e9 Caplet; and three shorter pieces arranged by Eastman Wind Ensemble conductors Mark Scatterday and Donald Hunsberger. The program covers almost 25 years of music, from Debussy\u2019s early orchestral suite Printemps <\/em>(Spring<\/em>) to a portion of the \u201cmystery\u201d The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian<\/em> for soloists, chorus, and orchestra.<\/p>\n

Festival Artistic Director Marie Rolf will introduce the repertoire in each half of the concert with lavish illustrations projected on a large screen, including vivid photos of dancers, sets, and costumes for the danced versions of Printemps <\/em>and Le Martye de saint S\u00e9bastien<\/em>, and rare materials regarding the Marche \u00e9cossaise <\/em>(to be introduced by a bagpiper in kilt, performing the Scottish tune used by Debussy).<\/p>\n
